MaxJ1800: Yes, Mrs. Botsford will act like a mother hen. Tobey's reaction will probably be in the next chapter. Violet and Scoops are going to find out in this one. Let me know if I'm staying on the straight and narrow with this one.

Normally, when Clair Drakesford and Sally Botsford were together and Sally's husband wasn't around, they were arguing in front of a judge. However, they both were sitting in the front seat of Sally's car, with their children in the back. They were heading to the offices of a doctor that would keep things quiet about Becky's pregnancy.
"Are you sure he'll keep quiet about this? I know there's a doctor patient confidentiality agreement, but this might be too tempting for him." Sally states as she guides the car along the road.
"Remember, I'm also a trial lawyer. I'll be able to sue him for every dime he's ever had if he lets these secrets out. Besides, he understands the sensitivity of this situation." Clair replies.
"Why have you've been firm hopping anyway? Wouldn't they want to keep you?" Sally asks.
"I'm too much of a hot shot for those older partners. They felt threatened and always found a way to get rid of me, or bog me down in drug dealer cases."
"Were any of your cases involving those criminals your son apprehended?" Sally asks and Clair grins.
"No, my son only dealt with the big time offenders, didn't you?" she teases and Tim blushes.. "Seriously, I'd never defend the likes of the Arabian Bomber, MinusMan, and Phantasma."
"Well, my office has been dealing with The Butcher, Chuck The Evil Sandwich Making Guy, and Dr. Two Brains for years now, but Mr. Big, Lady Redundant Woman, The Whammer, and a guy calling himself The Coach were a little more recent."
"I have a sneaking suspicion, that at eight, Tim might had his hand in taking a drug trafficking ring out." Clair says looking at her son through the rear view mirror. His blush darkens from more of his mother's scrutiny.
"Becky, did you ever have to take out drug dealers?" Sally asks.
"No, I think those criminals are afraid of the more stranger criminals that plague this city." Becky answers blushing herself now. It was going to take time getting used to having her mother knowing everything. Her dad just wanted help lifting heavy things around the house.
"How's TJ?" Clair asks now getting serious. Sally sighs dejectedly.
"He refuses to eat any meals at the table as long as Becky is eating there. He's been acting rather harsh towards Becky."
"Will he get over it?" Clair asks.
"I hope, but if not, I know a doctor with a nice couch that TJ can visit and let his destroyed hero worship be vented there." Sally answers. Clair gives a sad smile. She was glad she was a single mother.

"Hmmmm, this makes no sense. This child is more developed during the first trimester than normal. If this keeps up, she'll only be carrying the child for another two and a half months." the doctor replies.
"There's an explanation for that." Clair begins. "This must remain in confidence."
"I understand." the doctor replies.
"The mother is really WordGirl, and the father is MathWiz." Clair states making sure that the doctor didn't think that this was a joke of some sort.
"Well, I guess Lexiconian pregnancies might not last as long as human ones do. Well, I'll want to see her every two weeks. She's fifteen, but a minor on Earth might not be the same as a minor on other worlds." Sally nods realizing that they would be able to trust this doctor.
"Remember, we're both lawyers...," Clair begins, but the doctor holds up a hand.
"I knew about your reputation, Ms. Drakesford, but when you walked in here with the district attorney, I realized the seriousness of the situation." the doctor says. This would be the strangest case he'd ever have, but he wouldn't be able to publish a journal about it.

"So, what is this you need to tell me?" Violet asks Becky as they stand outside the school during lunch a week and a half after her first doctor's visit.
"You know that me and Tim's relationship is serious, and you know here recently I've been slightly moody and eating a lot, right?"
"Yeah, so...,wait, you're...,"
"Yes, I'm pregnant."
"Why would you...,"
"I thought the pills were enough, plus I didn't want my parents or Tim's mother finding used condoms." Becky replies and Violet blushes.
"You're only fifteen, will you be able to stay in school?"
"I'm going to get as far ahead as I possibly can before I won't be able to go anymore. After the birth, our folks will take care of the baby while I'm at school. The thing will be after graduation. We'll have to see if both me and Tim can take on-line classes. Tim's hoping to get a summer job this summer."
"He's sticking beside you? Wow, I knew he was a good guy, but you've got the best." Violet says smiling.
Yeah, I do have the best don't I?"
"If you need a babysitter,"
"Violet!" she shouts, "You seem to be more excited about this than I am."
"How'd your parents take it?"
"Pretty well. They're still letting me see Tim, but mom is starting to become more like a hen everyday, and TJ's acting like an...," Becky says trying not to let the word out, but she can't help it, "ass!"
"You don't usually swear a lot, is it the mood swings?"
"Yes. I hate losing control over my vocabulary like that."
"Doesn't Tim make you lose control when...,"
Violet!" Becky shouts again now blushing deeply.

"Sooo, where's your other half? Having a lover's spat?" Scoops asks as he sits near Tim.
"She and Violet are having a private girl talk." Tim replies looking down at the food on his tray. "And I don't blame her for missing this lunch."
"Y'know, she's been gaining a lot of weight. She would have been on the team, but she was just to heavy to be a cheerleader." Scoops says. Tim gives the other boy a hard stare. Tobey, who'd ignored the conversation, was now listening in with a light interest.
"She's also been quite moody. It's almost as if she's...,pregnant." Scoops continues. Tobey smirks in glee while Tim looks uncomfortable for a moment before regaining control.
"It's just stress." Tim replies evenly.
"You and Becky can't fool me. You try to keep her happy and the two of you do disappear during class to go do something, and when you two return, she's grinning stupidly and you're tired. She's pregnant isn't she?" Scoops says finishing the question with a growl.
"Ooohhohoho, the secret is finally out." Tobey says smirking.
"Shut up." Tim growls at Tobey.
"Let it be known that Tim Drakesford is imperfect and didn't take precautions when he decided to take Becky's 'cherry'." Tobey says loud enough for the boys around them to hear him.
"I suggest you shut it before I shut it for you." Tim snarls. Tobey smiles and sits back waiting for Scoops to continue. Tobey wouldn't push Tim's last button, but he'd let Scoops do it for him.
"You bastard! You probably pressured her into doing it just because you couldn't control your self! Arggh!" Scoops shouts and lunges. The two start fighting. Other students circle them to block any authority from stopping it. Another thing that wouldn't get Tim and Scoops into trouble was the fact that another fight had broken out on the other side of campus and the staff had to deal with that.

"So, how good of a lover is he?" Violet asks giggling.
"Violet!" Becky says blushing even more. Then they both hear the commotion from inside. The two girls go back in and see a very large circle of freshman and sophomores surrounding a fight.
"Hey! Who's fighting?" Violet asks and gets a laughing response. Tobey comes over to the girls still laughing at the situation.
"What's so funny." Becky spits.
"Careful, don't want to put any unneeded stress on the mother to be." Tobey says laughing.
"What? How did you find out?" Violet asks now wanting to knock Tobey's block off.
"It was scoops that was questioning Tim, I just helped him along a little. Now, the two men that have feelings for Becky shall beat the snot out of each other! You can't pay for better entertainment!" Tobey laughs out.
"C'mon, we better stop them. You grab Scoops, I'll grab Tim." Becky says and the two girls start pushing their way through the ring of students. They finally got through the throng of students to see that Scoops was holding his own against Tim, which was surprising. Tim would not need his super strength to defend himself, but it looked like Scoops had been going to self defense classes over the summer.
"Stop it right now!" Violet shouts and grabs Scoops who struggles in her grasp.
"Calm down," Becky whispers to Tim holding him back as well.
"I'm going to expose you Drakesford! I'll go to the cops and tell them of this! I'll even put it in the paper! I won't let Becky's honor...," Scoops says but is cut off.
"Enough! I'm with Tim now Scoops. I love him and the two of us are going to be parents. I willingly gave myself to him because we're in love. You seemingly didn't bother to notice me until I was in a relationship with Tim!" Becky shouts. "So just back off. I love him and he won't leave me because of a mutual mistake."
"Alright." Scoops states realizing that he had been defeated.
"Ok, there's nothing else to see here. Get out of here now!" Becky barks and the crowd of students retreat from Becky. "C'mon, Tim, let's go to the nurse's office." she says and the two leave. Violet gives Tobey one last dirty look and heads for class.
